That's what he gets for throwing 100 and 101mph.

Nah.
That was pretty cool.  It is so rare that us Tiger fans have something to cheer about at the All-Star Game festivities.  Tonight, Verlander and Fielder will both be starting the game.  A Tiger starting the All-Star Game was such a rare occurrence between 1985 and the last couple of years.

Another win for the Buccos!!!! inching closer to that illusive winning season that I've long awaited for. Those damned Bonds and Bonilla boys.

Even with a loss to the Giants the Buccos are still in first place baby, Hard way to lose last night, 5 runs given up in the fourth. El Toro is killing the ball as of late.

Man.....I soooo blame the M's for my complete loss of interest in MLB so far this year. I am not even sure I know what the heck is going on.....

Woot!  Tigers score 4 runs in the bottom of the 8th to turn a 3-2 deficit into a 6-3 lead.  Fielder drills a 3-run homer.  One of the rare non-solo home runs by a Tiger hitter this year.

Well, I nit pick because in the long run....I know exactly where they are heading.
But in the short run, gotta love how the Yanks are playing.
Pitching has really stepped up, and the offense has been playing well, even in the dreaded RISP area.

Season and post season will tell how long it holds up but right now is good times

That's loaded you say?
I meant just in scoring position. I guess it may have changed but just a couple of days ago yanks were the worst in that category.

Regardless, they suck at it and way more than they should.
Of course as I say that this one game against Cleveland has been pretty good (plus some solo HRs) but this has been rare.

I know that when the Tigers played the Yankees a few weeks ago, the Tigers were batting .134 with the bases loaded while the Yankees were the 2nd worse at about .170.  Of course, shortly after they flashed that stat Granderson hit a grand slam.  The Tigers really haven't done too much since to improve upon those numbers, although I don't know where the stats stand at this point.

Well, don't fret too badly Scott.
Nothing can be more enraging/embaressing than the Yankees offense with runners in scoring position.
I believe it's a collective .154 at the moment and is worst in MLB.

I almost wish the offense was just bad, then you expect and understand it but that record is ridiculous when you have the guys we do. Especially Cano. Supposed to be one of the most naturally gifted, and smoothest hitters in the game and 36 RBI on 16 HR? Granderson...I love the guy but 41 RBI on 21 HR? How whack are those numbers?
Been the case for years too, (and their play off woes) it must be mental.
IDC I still say the chemistry has been f**ked up ever since A rod has been here.

The Tigers' offense has been a major disappointment this year.  They were talking about all of the offensive records that might be set with the addition of Fielder to the line-up.  I believe that the only offensive records that might be within reach are those involving ineptness.

At least we got to take the series with the Tigers this time. Thank goodness for G. Jones or it would have been a shutout Sunday.

Two in a row off of the Tigers!!!!! Another well pitched game from a Bucco. I'm enjoying this while it lasts.

Enjoying the Bucs/Tigers game at the moment. If it stays the same it looks like the only win we'll get this weekend.

Went to todays Jays/Phillies game.  It was the first game I've attended that went to extra innings (no, I haven't been to tons of games), and thankfully the Jays climbed back to win in spite of another poor outing by Romero.  With the way things have been going lately I expected Romero to join starters Morrow (who has been phenomenal this season), Drabek, and Hutchison on the DL.  Frankly, the guy could use some time off. LOL

2nd perfect game of the season.
Matt Cain of the San Fran Giants. Threw 14 K's in his perfect game, tying Sandy Koufax. That is one hell of a night.

Hell of a pitching performance! Clap
